Setting up a search index

Add Index minion policies

Version:

Search minions are responsible for creating the index, adding documents to the index, and deleting documents from the index. You add index minion policies in the policy set file PlugIn.Minions.PolicySet-X.X.X.json.

You define minion policies in the Minion environment (for example, inet\pub\wwroot\CommerceMinions_Sc9\wwwroot\data\Environments\PlugIn.Minions.PolicySet-1.X.X.json):

Full Index minion policy

{
"$type": "Sitecore.Commerce.Core.MinionPolicy, Sitecore.Commerce.Core","
"ListsToWatch": [
   "YOUR FULL LIST"],
"FullyQualifiedName": "Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Search.FullIndexMinion, Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Search",
"ItemsPerBatch": 1000
     }

Incremental Index minion policy

{
"$type": "Sitecore.Commerce.Core.MinionPolicy, Sitecore.Commerce.Core",
"WakeupInterval": "`00:05`:00",
"ListsToWatch": [
  "YOUR INCREMENTAL LIST"],
"FullyQualifiedName": "Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Search.IncrementalIndexMinion, Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Search",
"ItemsPerBatch": 1000,
"SleepBetweenBatches": 50
     }

Delete Index Documents minion policy

{
"$type": "Sitecore.Commerce.Core.MinionPolicy, Sitecore.Commerce.Core",
"WakeupInterval": "`00:05`:00",
"ListsToWatch": [
  "YOUR DELETED LIST"],
"FullyQualifiedName": "Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Search.DeleteIndexDocumentsMinion, Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Search",
"ItemsPerBatch": 1000,
"SleepBetweenBatches": 50
     }
